Solid Investment Ideas for Great Depression Part -2 kind of situations or Crisis situations

Dear Fellow Travelers,

Namaste! This is the 5^th post on our investment series. Today we are going to talk about investing for CRISIS situations. There are two kinds of Crisis – Personal and Collective. A personal crisis could be in the form of health issues/business or job issues/relationship issues. This is limited to you and your family only. I am not going to talk about that in this post. I am going to talk about Collective Crisis only. E.g. COVID 19 is a collective crisis.

What did Chanakya Say for CRISIS?

He had said the following in his NITI Shastra -

One should save his money against hard times, save his wife at the sacrifice of his riches, but invariably one should save his soul even at the sacrifice of his wife and riches.

What was on your shopping list between April to June 2020 in India?

The above was the Lockdown period in India. Let us see as a MINI trailer of the movie and see what we did during this period.

All your expenses were on Food / Communications / Medicines and basic necessities. Household expenses had come down drastically as the money was going for the above things only.

We were not allowed to go out only – so all that we could do was remain at home and survive. 

In Great Depression kind of situations – everything will be available and you will be allowed to go out and enjoy. But you will have no money to enjoy or very little money to enjoy. So, your demand will be restricted to MUST NEED ITEMS only. Thanks to that many businesses will die their natural death.

Where to invest in the Great Depression Part 2?

Let us look at Jim Rogers. This guy has traveled the whole World 2 times – one time on Bike and the other times by Car. He might have traveled N number of times in Flight. He has personal experience and knowledge of the ground realities of most countries unlike anybody in the World.

This guy is heavily investing in AGRO COMMODITIES for the last 10 years. He sees there will be a SCARCITY of AGRO Commodities in the coming time.

He has been investing for 10 years and there is no scarcity as of now. Normal investors would laugh at him and they may not like his approach as it has not given him super-duper results so far.

He is a VISIONARY guy and if you see GREAT DEPRESSION kind of situations – he will be making tons of money. All big results need Vision and Patience.

Now, let us look at Buffett

This is another legend and most followed compared to Jim. He has his portfolio 100% in Equities and most of the companies are Consumables only. He understands that you may or may not buy gold/property or any other luxury items but you will need food items and other consumables for sure.

Where should you invest?

You will not be able to answer this question – till you know yourself properly. Learn as much as possible about yourself first. Remember your mood and behaviors in the BAD times / Good Times / Sudden crisis-like situations. You will get glimpses of SHADES of your personality.

I have seen most guys panicking when faced with a crisis as they have not known themselves in detail.

I would suggest go deeper into yourself and know yourself as much as you can. The more you know yourself – the you will be better equipped to deal with the outside situations. You can use Astrology for fast and accurate self-knowledge.

What is a co-relation between Self Knowledge and Investment Success?

Your belongings / your family / your investments / your living style is nothing but an extension of yourself only. So, if you know yourself in a better way – you can know all your personal World in a better way. When you know them – you can manage them or you can change them.

I am going to the core of doing anything – “know yourself and you will know what to do automatically”. According to me, this is the THUMB RULE for investing.

If you see FIRE in your house – you will try to get out or jump as fast as possible. Right? So, rather than knowing the jumping style – know whether there is a fire or not?

What NEXT?

COVID-19 is coming up again in a big way in Europe. We categorically, said it is not GOING. In fact, Bharat Bio-Tech has given the date of Vaccine in June 2021!! In our post, we had said we will review our COVID -19 call in June 2021 only. Reliance is trading at Rs.1990 today. This is our accuracy.

If you want to know yourself in the fastest way – astrology is a great tool. Take the help of the same.

Wish you all the best.
